The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with front bench seats only, if fluid is spilled from the floor mounted cup holder, an unused console power outlet connector located under the seat May become contaminated.
The risk
This May allow development of a high resistive short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the console wiring connector for corrosion, clean as required, and install a cap to prevent additional fluid from contaminating the connector free of charge. The recall began on October 30, 2006. Owners May contact daimler Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
